Did anyone notice that both the show's opening and the title cards to all the pre-recorded bits have a 'Copyright 2010 Team Coco' notice on them? I think it's pretty cool, and it shows that Conan actually owns his stuff this time, not the network. |

Yep, that's why I actually like them. I think they're just a goofy little throw away gag that the episode has an absurd, completely unrelated title. Maybe it will wear thin after a while, but I like it so far..

Why does it really matter whether the episodes are titled or not and in what way does it cheapen the show?? Cripes people complain about the DUMBEST shit.

re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
Yeah, cheapens a nightly talk show that makes what at least 150 episodes a year? Frankly, these shows are pretty cheap and disposable as they are. This is like complaining that the crack whore you pass on the street is dressed a little too trashy.

re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
Last night had strong interviews but the weakest prepared material since the premiere (and that definitely includes the closing standup). Conan should go back to his shorter Late Night style monologue.

The episode naming thing is just a variation of a talk show staple. It's a quick joke during the intro of the show that if you like, great; if you don't like, you forget about it and move on.
For example, Letterman's announcer has been doing something like this for years: And now… a guy we knew would never amount to anything… David Letterman! And now… the number one name in pet food… David Letterman! And now… a man who’s asking for your vote for county coroner… David Letterman! I can't believe that so many posts in this thread have been about this, and yet not one person has commented on Julie Bowen's legs :drool: or her hilariously wrong story about Fatty and Smarty. |
re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
It's by no means ruining the show for me, but it just does nothing for me and it seems like an amateur-ish gag. Yea, it did sort of remind me of Letterman and the pointless text that they put up on screen, or those goofy intros. They didn't and don't do anything for me either.

Cera and Tom Hanks were great this week. And an honorable mention to Julie Bowens legs. |

I agree. Otherwise the set looks nice. My only other complaint is that I find naming each episode incredibly stupid.

It's the one piece of the puzzle that's missing. Conan's "Late Night" and "Tonight" shows were completely owned and produced by NBC. Recall that part of the decision for NBC to choose Jay over Dave in 1992 was the fact that NBC would regain whole ownership of "The Tonight Show" franchise. (Carson had owned the show since the early 80s.) |

Conan is a pretty rough show right now. It has a lot of flaws but it got better every episode. I've been a Conan fan for a very long time but when I watch him now he's just not as funny. Craig Ferguson is just so much funnier. I did notice that Conan is getting better doing interviews but Craig can get the guest to do all sorts of crazy shit (like the Secretariat dance) and if he ever has a bad guest he can carry the interview.

re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
Very strong first week, I think. I watched every episode and enjoyed it quite a bit. But going forward I will probably only tune in when he has guests that are of interest to me. This coming week looks like I won't be watching much of it. I will probably at least check out his monologue and see what he does after the first commercial break but won't stick around for the rest of many of the episodes.
